The Lark Santa Barbara

Funk zone vibe..easy environment and nice flavourful food..service was great...

There happened to be a hectic thunder storm that flooded the Funk Zone and had my girlfriend question our life choices as we walked through some ankle high flooding in the streets. Those questions immediately subsided once the free popcorn, hints of lime and sugar hit the table. We were immediately welcomed and taken to, " the secret room." Just the back of the restaurant but it was cute none the less. The chips and dip started the meal with some light but clever pairings of flavor. Whatever the sauce is in the Brussel sprouts had us wondering if anyone would notice if we just started drinking it straight from the bowl. Our main was the chicken dish which just kept the delish going. Then sticking the landing with some delicious cornbread. We had a lot of great meals this weekend but the Lark will be one we won't soon forget. We highly recommend.

One of our favorite restaurants in Santa Barbara! Great food, cocktails, and wine.

Completely overrated because of the food. We order the pasta that did not have any taste and the salmon that was really dry. You do not expect this on a place of $70pp. The service was 5/5.

Great service and (seemingly) good food - until you're struck with food poisoning 4 hours later. Having worked in food and beverage, I know how seriously restaurants take these incidents....but oddly, this one didn't. The manager didn't apologize or have the decency to remove the offensive dish from our bill. "Looking into it" is not good enough when you've ruined our first kid-free vacation. 2 stars for poor follow-through.

fun time perched at the bar. staff seem to genuinely enjoy working together and had the best energy. i got the mussels and was very happy!

Solid food, great space and friendly service. I feel bad for giving 3 stars for service since the waiter was so nice. Just seemed like he forgot about us and had to wait for a long time for main food to come out. We would definitely go back again.
